Congrats Dr!

A friend of ours is graduating today with her medical degree! What a wonderful accomplishment... and certainly she is very deserving as she is wife and a mom of two boys.

I used some sample CTMH Notebook paper (seemed fitting!) that I added an extra distressed look with Distress Inks. Stamps are the $1 Studio G stamps that I bought last year spring.

Enjoy!

Congrats Nurse!

A young woman that Terry worked with for several years has finally finished her nursing degree. I threw together thsi card with matching pp (with glitter already on it!) and cs, with a bit of ribbon and brad as an accent.

Enjoy!

Mother's Day Card 2

I made this card for Terry's mom... I just hope it got through the mail okay! That bow (it took me about 4 or 5 tries!!) looks awesome (irl), but is pretty big and I worry that it will get mangled.

It is a quilt card made with paper scraps from a pp swap, image swap, and green grosgrain ribbon and green cs.

I stamped another Happy Mom's Day on the inside!

Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day all you mom's out there!!

I made a card using some PTI Sweet Blush and pp, Bella Baubles, and a friend let me borrow some cricut carts... so I cut out a cute little rose. I stamped the sentiment from CTMH Say it in Style.

Just a simple card, really, for my mom.

But very lovely, I think!

Have a wonderful day!

Mother's Day Card 1

I am pretty lucky to be able to call my stepmother a friend. I loved the way her card turned out, elegant.

I colored some stamped images and cut them out and the card is called a gate-fold card.

Hope you are ready for Mom's Day this Sunday!!

Enjoy!

Bella Birthday Piecing

The card sketch is actually my own... I kept trying to make it fit one of my other sketches, but finally gave up.

I used Balloonabella, with PTI Berry Sorbet (and polka dot ribbon) and Sweet Blush cs (also used in the balloons). I paper pieced her dress and used copics for her skin and hair.

This will be a birthday card, stamped on the inside with CTMH Hollyhock which coordinates beautifully with the Berry Sorbet.

Enjoy!

It's that wonderful time of the year again...

Every year at this time we celebrate birthdays (some grown-up... but mostly children), lots of anniversaries (we went to our 1st wedding in years, last year), graduations (not high school or college anymore, but grad school, nursing school, and med school), and babies... LOTS and LOTS of babies!! (although they are slowly tapering off just a bit- I think!).

Anyway, I have been so incredibly busy with my new practice over the last couple of months, but have been keeping an eye on the calendar (knowing that Mom's Day- we have 3 to celebrate- is thrown in that mix) and Dad's Day (again, I have 3 cards to make for that) rounds out the card craziness of May and June.

So, I went into card overdrive when I visited my dad and stepmom recently.

I'll start a bunch of posts this week. I've got the pics uploaded. I just need to write up quick notes about them and post them.

Enjoy!
